Hey everyone!! Figured I'd get things started here.
(I noticed Hydrotoys is in the house too. Hopefully he'll check in from time to time. One of the most knowledgable GPR gurus around!!!
Anyhow, one of my rides is an '05 GPR with some minor tweaking. I've installed:
R&D modified rideplate
R&D two bar intake grate
Riva pump plug kit
Cut some holes in the hood and bucket for more airflow through the engine compartment
Installed some FlowRites in the seat for more airflow
Hydroturf seat cover
Aftermarket ProTaper bars and UMI finger throttle
Stepped stock sponsons
Pet Tach
Filled the rideplate holes
Anyway, hope to be hanging around here some. Maybe we can get this place rockin' a little bit!!!
I have an 06 GP1300r and was curiosu about what you had done to your 05.
You said you "Cut some holes in the hood and bucket for more airflow through the engine compartment"...
What's the positive on doing that, and also can that cause water to leak in causing damage???
Is it something you would suggest I do on my 06?????
Is it as simple as it appeared--just drill the holes, like in your pics, and done???
I have a 1998 XL 1200 waverunner and i'm trying to figure out if the motor is a 1200 or a 1200r. I going to set the Popoff pressure on the carbs and the spec pressures are completely different on the two motors.
Here is a pic of what I found when i disassembled a XLT1200 recent acquisition. Waverunner has not run since 2016. Don't know the backstory how the water got in, maybe rolled and continued to run? Crank will not spin for obvious reasons. Cylinders were in great shape.
Few questions,
Is any...
So I bought these two yamaha gp 800s yesterday for 400 bucks with a double trailer. The guy that I bought them from said he got them from a buddy back in 2013 and he just said they didnt run. I figured what the heck the trailer is worth the 400 to me. The skis are a 1998 and a 2001. Does anyone...
While changing the spark plugs preparing my ski for this coming season, I noticed corrosion on each plug between the drive hex and the rubber boot attachment area. What could be the cause? Thank you.
Good day,
just acquired new to me 05 gp800r and 05 xlt1200 from a friend who wanted them gone. both with bad top ends. My first two PWC ever, and I'm pushing 50.
I'm pretty handy, but no mechanic. Disassembly went very well, straightforward. found problems with low compression.
maybe this...
